Pete's BLOG - Day 26,189. More Leviticus food rules.

Today is Thursday, August 2, 2012. Yes, another hot one. The U.S. Drought Monitor is now calling the drought extreme instead of severe. It is really bad news for the farmers.
This morning I did yoga, the exercise ball and walked 43 minutes = 2.2 miles for an August total of 4.3 miles. My weight today was 162.2 pounds.
I'm really enjoying the Olympics from London. I'm amazed at the athletic ability of the athletes.Some real learning and fun events for me have been handball, archery, rowing, beach volleyball, whitewater canoeing. ping pong, swimming, gymnastics and diving. I'm anxious for track and field.

And now more Old Testament Leviticus rules for foods you can eat and not eat. For some reason the right-wing Christians do not talk about these. But they sure love that anti-homosexual verse(18:22) .

Leviticus chapter 11: verse19. People may NOT eat the following birds: eagle, metire, osprey, falcon, kite, raven, ostrich, nighthawk, seagull, hawk, owl, cormorant, ibis, march hen, pelican, vulture, stork, heron, hoopoe, and bat.
11:20. All insects that fly and walk or crawl are FORBIDDEN. But you may eat those that jump - that includes locusts, crickets and grasshoppers.

11:27. Any animal that walks on PAWS is forbidden to you as food.
11:29,30. You may NOT eat small animals which scurry about your feet or crawl upon the ground - that includes the mole, rat, great lizard, gecko (it is a tropical/subtropical lizard), mouse, lizard, snail, and chameleon.
11:41,42. Animals that crawl shall not be eaten. This includes all reptiles that slither along upon their bellies as well as those that have legs. (I guess that rules out alligator meat.)

Well, what do you think about these food rules? Some more goodies coming in my next post.
